A nurse is discussing how client safety is affected by information management technology with a newly licensed nurse. Which of the following statements should the nurse include?

A. "Information management technology can increase the risk of human errors." While technology can contribute to errors if misused, this statement does not fully capture the overall positive impact of technology on client safety.

B. "Information management technology assists with compliance of practice guidelines." This statement highlights how technology helps ensure adherence to best practices and protocols, which enhances client safety.

C. "Information management technology can increase direct client care time." Generally, technology is designed to streamline processes and can reduce time spent on administrative tasks, allowing more time for direct client care.

D. "Information management technology decreases the burden of disease." While technology can improve health outcomes and data tracking, it does not directly decrease the burden of disease.

A. Data capture; data capture is an essential role of nursing informatics, involving the collection and documentation of health information for analysis and reporting.

B. Health professional disciplinary action; while nursing informatics may support systems that help manage compliance, disciplinary actions fall under the purview of regulatory bodies and management, not nursing informatics specifically.

C. Patient order compliance; while ensuring compliance with patient orders may be supported by informatics systems, it is primarily a clinical responsibility rather than a specific role of nursing informatics.

D. Technical computer hardware support; while nursing informatics professionals may have some technical knowledge, providing technical hardware support is typically not their primary role and may be handled by IT professionals.
